WELCOME! My name is Diane Siniard and I am the county coordinator for Yadkin County's NCGenWeb page. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or suggestions. There is a search engine available for this site. It is located in 2 places on the home page for your convenience! Please check under the "What's New?" link for new items that have been added. I would like to get transcriptions of cemeteries, birth, marriage, and death certificates, photos and anything else you feel may benefit other researchers. Yadkin was formed in 1850 from Surry County. Its name is derived from the Yadkin River which runs through it. It is in the north central section of the state and is bounded by Forsyth, Davie, Iredell, Wilkes and Surry counties. The present land area is 335.93 square miles and the 1990 population was 30,488. The first court was ordered to be held at Dowellton, at which time the justices were to adjourn to any place they wished until a courthouse could be erected. Commissioners were named to select a site for the courthouse as near of the center of the county as possible. Also, they were to acquire land and lay off a town by the name of Wilson. In 1852 an act was passed changing Wilson to Yadkinville. Yadkinville is the county seat. If you're researching early settlers in Yadkin, you'll also want to look at Forsyth, Davie, Iredell, Wilkes and Surry resources.
